Scenario

When families can't agree on being present together

My family agreed to have device-free dinners to be more present but my teenager keeps saying they can't focus without music and my spouse checks work messages 'just quickly' and I'm the only one who seems to care about actually being here together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Different people have different relationships with presence, and forcing shared mindfulness can create more tension than connection.
